look into the option of going with LEDs. At that point new banners and <br /> lighting become a $5,000-$7,000 project. <br /> Chair Dale Martin notes that he has mixed feelings about the City putting <br /> money in towards the banners since they advertise the Youth Hockey/High <br /> School program. <br /> Youth Hockey Representative Brian Ballenger states that Elk River Youth <br /> Hockey loves having the banners on the building, but it is a financial issue for <br /> them. He notes that even though their numbers are good,they are still having <br /> to raise rates, and are trying to see what they could do towards the remodeling <br /> project. <br /> Commissioner Gumphrey asks if the banners need to be as large as they are, <br /> or can they be hung inside in the event of a renovation? <br /> Arena Manager Czech says no, however he doesn't believe that making them <br /> just a little smaller will have enough impact on the cost to make a difference, <br /> but he will look into it. He agrees that we might be a bit premature in deciding <br /> about new banners when a renovation, if it happens could change where they <br /> could be hung. <br /> Commissioner Gumphrey also notes that Nate Prosser(NHL) and Rachel <br /> Halvorson(Disney on Ice) should be represented with the professional skaters. <br /> He suggests getting pictures and hanging them up in the arena-then removing <br /> the banners and possibly auctioning them off and starting a banner fund? <br /> MOTION MADE BY COMMISSIONER GUMPHREY AND <br /> SECONDED BY VICE CHAIR JOHNSON TO RECOMMEND TO <br /> THE CITY COUNCIL TO REMOVE THE OUTSIDE BANNERS AND <br /> FIND A PLACE IN THE ARENA TO PUT UP 5 PHOTOS(SIZE TBD <br /> BY ARENA MANAGER) REPRESENTING THE 5 PROFESSIONAL <br /> SKATERS WHO HAVE COME THROUGH THE ARENA. <br /> MOTIONAL PASSES 4-0. <br /> 9.
